References for Bear MUA

Where do I start. I have had the pleasure of shooting many times at Wolfe Cottage studios as part of a regular club meeting. Bear (better known to most as Caroline) has always been very creative with the themes chosen. Not only does Caroline work her magic with the makeup and hair styles but also is very creative and artistic in producing some exquisite sets, backdrops and props.

Caroline is simply wonderful, very friendly, helpful, professional with nothing being too much to ask.

I feel that it is only right that due credit is given to ALL involved in a shoot, whether it be a group or solo event. I would highly recommend Bear and most certainly be returning to experience "the magic". See you soon

What can I say other than Bear is one of a kind!

Pre-Shoot comms were incredible throwing ideas around, nailing down transport details, generating some fabulous ideas. Caroline tried her absolute hardest to make sure that I had everything I needed before I came down such as contact information, directions, dietry requirements, everything!

When I met Caroline she was extremely warm, welcoming and kind with a killer sense of humour (her and Andrews humour together has to be seen to be believed, it's fantastic!) and a genuine care and concern for you as a human, not just as a model.

I can rave about her all day, but I should get onto the MUA and set bit!

Caroline is an extremely good MUA, with a huge collection of make up and bits and pieces, and is able to take virtually any concept and design THE look for it. I also got to learn a lot about the make up Caroline was using, so that combined with a mini facial and candles/oil I felt like I was at a bit of a beauty spa!

Thats not all though, as Caroline has a creative steak a mile long and designed the most incredible set for our shoot. It was beyond anything I would've imagined, and yet seemed to come naturally to her! Items were ordered in advance to bring the set to life, she even printed off information about the theme we were doing and aged the sheets to be used in the set. I could learn and pose at the same time! Speaking of, Caroline also has a great eye when it comes to posing, angles, shapes and styling, it felt like I had a models assistant on hand the entire time, but with more cups of tea!

I can't wait to go back and see Andrew, Caroline, Spirit and Ghost in a few months time, the problem is, will I ever leave?

Worked with Caroline as a last minute fill in for a camera club night & I am so pleased I did. She was brilliant with he makeup skills! She easily translated her vision for an Ice Queen shoot into every detail - down to my eyebrows :) She picked out a fab gown & together with her husband Andy at Wolfe Cottage Studios created a fab set! I know we will work together in the future & I can't wait! She is so professional & good at what she does. She is a truly lovely person and I had so much fun getting ready & shooting. Very highly recommend & hope to work with her soon

I worked with the lovely Caroline again on a recent trip to the area and had an absolute blast! Caroline and her husband Andrew (owners of Wolfe Cottage Studio) had very kindly sold out the studio day for me, on my behalf. I was very ill leading upto the studio day and hadn't had time to fully advertise it so I was extremely grateful.

Caroline is a complete joy and asset to the studio- very much a "hands-on-mummy" of the studio, always making sure that you are happy, comfortable, well fed and watered. She has a gorgeous personality and is a fantastic MUA and stylist also. I just love Carolines company, she is a very loving and caring person.

Thankyou for a lovely stay (home from home!) and really hope to catch up soon! Highly recommended, Helen x

My second time at Wolfe Cottage Studio and having the pleasure of seeing Caroline and Andrew again.

I shot for one of the group shoot nights they hold, they had built the sets and made the costumes...a lot of effort goes into each shoot.

Caroline applied my make up for my first set and then also worked very quickly to not only change my make up to another look for my next set but also had a go at styling my hair.

She is absolutely lovely, such good company and an amazing make up artist. I'm sure I will definitely be returning. 100% recommend.

Great evening at the Wolfe Cottage club night. Caroline had spent a lot of time preparing the sets and costumes which were fantastic. Looking forward to next time!

Met Caroline and Andrew on Thursday as had arranged a shoot with Gerry at Wolfe Cottage Studio.

Very friendly and welcoming people, immediately felt right at home and comfortable around them. Her profile is right she is very much 'mumma bear' we had a lovely chat conversing idea's for the shoot to get the make up look right and what we like to do in our pass time.

Her make up skills are incredible and I was very pleased with the outcome result which you will be able to see on the finished images. She really puts her heart and soul into it so you come out with the best results possible and feel completely happy with it so you are confident.

Highly highly recommend and have made plans for the future already.

Thanks again :)

I visited Wolfe Cottage Studio for the first time today and wow what an atmosphere. Everyone was lovely and it was such a fun shoot. Andrew and Caroline were very welcoming and accommodating.

I had my make up done by Caroline and it looked amazing! The colours she choose were perfect for me, I had never dared to put any other colour but red on my lips but Caroline used brown and gold and it looked fab. The finished result was flawless.

She is a lovely lady, chatty, friendly and passionate about her work.

We are already planning my next shoot at Wolfe Cottage Studio. I definitely recommend.

Leaving this reference about WOLFE COTTAGE STUDIO which is by far one of the best studios i worked at in a long time.

Comfortable, fun, warm, a nurturing vibe to the place and clearly a well run & established business.

I do wish i had bought some more dazzling dresses however there is always next time.

The owners themselves are polite lovely people & the photographers who attended were professional, charming and a laugh to work with,

All round a fabulous time and i cannot wait to go back!

What Can I say, Caroline is just such a brillant MUA and I can't wait to work with her again- She has a wonderful base at wolf cottage studio's and has access to so many brillant props and costumes. I found her welcoming and easy to get on with, fun to chat too. She's full of amazingly creative idears and her passion always shines through in the set designs and the makeup. Really enjoyed working on the Autum themed shoot with them and look forward to any future shoots.

Oh wow, I spent a weekend at Wolfe Cottage Studio and I had a blast! Caroline and Andrew are the best hosts with great company, incredible food, two beautiful dogs and a fantastic studio. Caroline also did my makeup for the two days which was so much fun, and she is very talented. She also helped with the styling, even producing a hand made cave girl outfit which went down very well. You will not be disspointed with this studio! I will definately be reccomending Wolfe Cottage to everyone I meet, and always cannot wait to return. Thanks for making me feel so at home. 100% AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Thank you Andrew and Caroline! ♥

This is a long over due reference for Caroline for multiple occasions, I am a regular visitor of Wolfe Cottage Studios and have been lucky enough to see Caroline's work first had from Gothic, Red Indians, to black eyes and UV body painting the list is endless I don't believe there is anything she can't do. She also a dab hand in making head pieces as can been seen in her portfolio and makes a mean cake :) .

Caroline is always approachable and keeps Andrew in check throughout any shoot, I would recommend Caroline 100% and look forward to working with her in the near future.

I had the pleasure of meeting Caroline at Wolfe Cottage Studio - as well as being welcoming and friendly, she did an excellent job with the make-up! I had some images with me which I showed to her for inspiration, and she was able to use these to create the same look for my shoot.

I was impressed by how quickly Caroline was able to get the look we were going for, and really pleased with the end result - a great look to complement the outfits and lighting we used. I would happily work with Caroline again!
